HISTORY: Recall the Last Several Commands


\begin{command}
\item[\textbf{Form: }HISTORY (output redirection)]{}
\end{command}

The command HISTORY will show on your terminal the last 50 commands that you have executed. Use this to find commands that you want to repeat with the % substitution character.

The output from HISTORY can be redirected. As an example:
\begin{hanging}
\item{HISTORY $>$history.txt}
\end{hanging}
prints the recent command history to the file history.txt in your current working directory.
